To Treat or Not to Treat: Bioethics and the Handicapped Newborn (1988) by Richard C. Sparks, along with related work by Peter A. Clark, provides an in-depth ethical analysis of treating severely handicapped newborns. These works navigate complex decisions, advocating for a patient-centered 'best interests' approach over pure medical interventionism, often involving parents and healthcare teams to balance quality of life, potential for human relationships, and the burden of treatment.
